Mumbai, Mar 19: Madhubala, one of the most charismatic actresses of all time, is still considered by many as the benchmark of beauty and talent.
The postal department has revived memories of Madhubala once again in the hearts of millions by issuing a stamp in her name. The stamp was launched by none other than son of the soil, veteran star, Manoj Kumar.
"You can just have one queen of beauty and emotion and Madhubala was one," said Manoj Kumar.
For family and friends it was an emotional moment. "We are actually quite surprised that my sister has been given such an honour. We are very happy," said Shashikala, sister.
Madhubala now joins the league of legends like Kishore Kumar and Guru Dutt, people who already feature on postage stamps and with whom she gave two of her hits Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and Mr and Mrs 55.
